I'll be the first to admit that I can get caught up in the "day-to-day" as much as anyone. Suddenly, you turn around and look at the calendar and :::poof::: another week (or month - insert appropriate time factor here) has gone by without a trace. Or at least it seems like it's without a trace.
When I was a child, I can remember always thinking that it was such a long time to wait until my birthday ... or Christmas ... or any other day of note. You know how it is as a kid - time seems to plod along. It seems like forever for the summer to start. School seems to drag on forever. My birthday could never get here fast enough (note to self - my oh my how THAT perspective has changed!). I can always remember my mother telling me that I should enjoy it now because as I got older, the time would seem like it was just flying by me.
Of course, as a child, what an adult says doesn't necessarily have a lot of credibility or relevance. And, worse yet, if it's your parents telling you that, then how much can it be believed or trusted, right? It's your parents!! What do they know?!
